17. CWR-2026 CSR-19943 Toolpath In Mill mode, when Z Level toolpaths are generated using the Advanced Method, if the cut type for Z level toolpath is changed to ‘helical’, then it still uses the horizontal arc parameters for calculating toolpath moves though they are not supported for the helical cut type.
18. CW-114583 CSR-19839 Operation For Multiaxis mill operation, under Links tab, if you switch from % (Percentage) to mm for the Links threshold parameter, then it displays a value computed on the basis of 50% of the tool diameter instead of 50% of the max stepover.
19. CW-114553 CSR-19821 Rebuild When the specific part file (created in CAMWorks 2016 SP2 version and last saved in 2021Plus SP3 version) is opened in CAMWorks 2022 SP1 version, CAMWorks prompts for a Rebuild of toolpaths which consequently causes its some of its Part Setups to get corrupted. Moreover, CAMWorks does not allow saving of the file.
20. CW-114551 CSR-18414 TechDB In the Technology Database shipped with CAMWorks, the Tap-Cutting Strategies for Threading under Mill Tooling,must Sub-Spindle setup strategies. Currently, they are not supported.

On generating Z Level toolpath with zigzag pattern, it is observed that the finish moves are displayed in green (instead of yellow) as it considers those moves as link moves.
26. CWR-2020 CSR-19596 Toolpath In Mill mode, whenever any Area Clearance toolpath (for which an Automatic Contain Area with Method set to “All Silhouettes” has been assigned) is generated using ‘Advanced’ method of 3 Axis Mill toolpath generation, it is observed that the toolpath gets generated beyond the Contain Area.
27. CWR-2016 CSR-19516 Toolpath When the 3 Axis Mill Toolpath generation method is set to ‘Advanced’ and the Area Clearance operation is generated for the specific Mill part, it is observed that its toolpath has a retract move with excess height that doesn’t consider the applied parameter value during the toolpath link. This occurs even though the Method is set to “Skim”.

32. CW-112870 CSR-18950 VoluMill For the specific part, VoluMill toolpath for a wrapped slot feature has some moves with angle rotation greater than 180deg, which causes the tool to crash through the part because the machine follows the shortest path.
33. CW-112840 CSR-18875 Turn Adding a sub spindle operation removes all existing sync codes from the sync manager.
34. CW-112802 CSR-18833 User Interface Indexing selection reverts to Automatic upon closing and opening Part Set Up Parameters - Indexing tab.
